Jul 23, 2019 · E60 M5 major model year differences - 2008 they updated the head/tail lights and interior (LCI), 2009 the cars got a new Idrive controller but old idrive computer, and the last year 2010 the idrive was updated to what BMW used through 2013.

Sep 11, 2023 · On the best days I get 15-16 mpg, but if you want to enjoy it on backroads while listening to the sound of the V10, it's worth it. If you get a clean car with relatively low milage and good maintenance history, you just need to set aside $5-6k for rod bearings, throttle actuators and few more things to make sure it stays reliable.
